Synopsis by Clarke Fountain
This very curious completely silent comedy includes some dramatic sequences and some fairly pornographic ones. The movie is made with titles, very much in the manner of early silent films. When the virginal daughter of a railroad crossing guard is raped by a homeless drifter, instead of being rescued, she is kidnapped and taken to a Parisian whorehouse. However, a man who tries to rescue her follows and is himself kidnapped and forced to serve as a male prostitute. The two captives meet there and fall in love. They are taken away by different rich people -- he to an Arab "harem," she to a surgeon's home. Eventually, after many perilous adventures, they are able to get back together.
